Little slice of heaven on the hill!

House was very clean and beautiful, views were great. The check in process was easy and Owners communication was spot on. Arrived with a nice gift from owner, wonderful bottle of wine and a couple treats. Highly recommend going to the Schwartz Family Restaurant down the road.

Relaxing in Winter

We had a wonderful stay- it had snowed days before and drive had been plowed from the road to the door. We were welcomed with wine and candy. Easy access to home and was exactly as pictured. It was a relaxing weekend with the exception of the train right behind the home. It didn't bother us too much but was a surprise in the middle of the night. lol The Mitchell Family were great hosts!

Fantastic getaway for long weekend in fall

Perfect property for a small family getaway. Quiet enough for a nice sanctuary, close enough to food and hiking for plenty to do. Only recommendation, for a family of four, is maybe two twin beds in second bedroom. Loved the hot tub, pond and atmosphere. Kids fell in love with neighbor cows too!

Labor Day Weekend Trip

Great property and home. We enjoyed the space and pond and the cows next door. The only draw back is the location. With a busy train track around two hundred feet in front of the house, both during the day and night, and a busy highway to the north side of the property, this peaceful location becomes very noisy. We loved the property but probably wouldn't stay again due to the noise level.

Disagree With What I had to Do

We enjoyed our stay, but we were on a mini vacation with family and I don't think we should have had to clean the cabin!! I feel for the cost of this rental I should not have been required to strip beds and sweep floors. I understand taking out the trash, but the rest should be in on the cost!! That is part of going on vacation is not having to clean!!!!

Super comfortable, well appointed cabin!

I recently visited Southern IN for a golf trip and had the pleasure of staying in the Mitchell’s cabin. Fully stocked kitchen, great outdoor area and super comfy king bed in the upstairs loft. I managed to leave something pretty important behind, and Martha was very accommodating getting it returned to me. Btw, Sultan’s Run in Jasper, IN (30 min drive from cabin) is a fantastic golf course.. just as good as the Dye Course in French Lick and less than a third of the cost to play! If I make my way back to So IN will definitely stay in this cabin again!

Family-friendly cabin near local attractions

The cabin was clean, cozy and a good location for our family hiking trips at Hemlock Cliff, Patoka Lake, and visit to Marengo Cavern. Our kids loved the hot tub, fishing for large mouth bass and catfish, visiting the neighbor cows along the fence line, and waving at the trains (and getting them to honk the horn!). The track does run on a bend near the property, but was more of a highlight for our families vs. a nuisance. Dollar General and gas station are conveniently located at the bottom of the hill. The porches, fire pit with swings, and welcome goodies were really nice. Owners were quick to respond and easy to communicate with. Cell service was limited, so it was nice to have WiFi, too.

Awesome great cabin

We have been coming to this area since late eighties. Rented and stayed at different places from campgrounds to houseboats to cabins I have to say this is the best most comfortable and easily accessible place we have stayed in. The view, pond, cleanliness, ammenities, are the best. Absolutely loved the train waved enough at the conductor he started waving. Lol u can’t go wrong here

Great property but,

The property was very clean and beautiful. It had everything we needed for the weekend. We arrived late due to the weather but the Dollar General nearby served our grocery needs. We enjoyed its proximity to French Lick and the Ohio River. We only had a few cons... Location. The living room/front porch is amazingly set up for gorgeous views, but all you see is the big Dollar General. I'd hope for a better view. And the train. The train woke us up at 730am on a Saturday! Shaking the whole bedroom and house. I went outside and sure enough, the tracks were steps away from the property. It continued to come by several times day and night. The hot tub is right within those steps where the train passes by. Because of that, I wouldn't pick this place again for serenity and isolation. But everything else is perfect! Thank you for sharing your property. My parents enjoyed it too.
